CERES GLOBAL AG CORP. ANNOUNCES RESOLUTION REGARDING REGULATORY INVESTIGATION

Ceres Global Ag Corp. has resolved a matter with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the CFTC).

The corporation had been co-operating with the CFTC investigation and a corresponding investigation by the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) since 2021. The primary focus of the investigations was on the corporation's oat market activities from over six years ago.

The CFTC investigation has been resolved by the corporation accepting a settlement order in which the corporation will pay a civil monetary penalty. The civil monetary penalty is consistent with the amount accrued as a legal settlement reserve in the corporation's financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2023.

The corporation does not currently anticipate any other charges or fines arising from the DOJ investigation.

"We are glad to have resolved the matter and appreciate the CFTC's acknowledgment of our co-operation related to these historical matters," said chief executive officer Carlos Paz.
